Sounds quite funny when you split the word as dy-nasty. We will now examine what other fun can be derived from dynasties that we know of.
Ghori sounds gory? Darna mana hai.
Khilji dynasty must have laughed khil-khila ke (tough to translate from Hindi).
Tughlaqs were ... well, contributors to generating a concept- Tughlaqian (crazy) behaviour!
Richard the V was only one up on Richard the IV.
One Singh dynasty cannot be distinguished from another. But we know that "Singh is King" so it's Ok. Maybe some of them can be attached to the place they ruled over, like Mewar or Jaipur. Complications arose when they had prefixes like Sawai (Man Singh) attached to them.
The Parmars had Raja Bhoj from whose times the famous question "Kahan Raja Bhoj aur kahan Gangu Teli" became popular (loosely, it means, what's the comparison between a king and a commoner?). Apparently Raja Bhoj was ruling over these parts of M.P. that I am now living in.
Do we owe the Lodi gardens of Delhi to one of the Lodis? probably.
The Tuluva dynasty to which Krishnadevaraya of Hampi/Vijayanagar belonged had a court jester called Tenaliraman who gave endless joy to us kids with his witty stories.
Not to forget the Holkars whose name adorns an airport here.
